    ^Those are rare and should be good with Planars (even though a Zana Deux variant) because of the output transformers. I have not heard but wish I could buy it and try it. List price not as important because he has not made those in years and will not make them again. Also- NOS MiG fighter Russian coke bottle tubes.

    Hoping someone here cops!

    Oh snap, I did not see the 8w speaker outs. That looks like @JoshMorr 's amp. Time to create an account and snag it.

    I've been wanting to buy an EC for awhile now and am thinking about that ZDT but I've settled that I prefer dynamics over orthos. I'm going to settle down to the stable of Utopia, Atrium, HP1000, and HD580 and get rid of all the orthos and SR1a. With those headphones should I hold out for a ZDSE or something else EC?

    ^Sorry if I confused the issue. I merely meant that the ZDT may be better than regular OTL ZD if someone has a planar.

    (Having output transformers does not mean that the amp will be bad with dynamic headphones. My Moth 2a3, EC Super 7, and EC Balancing Act tube amps all have output transformers. I am primarily using dynamic headphones with these for personal use. Modded HD800, HD600, sometimes Elex.)

    That ZDT is excellent with dynamic drivers. It's a little more linear than the ZDS I have. You should buy it then come up to Austin for a meet. I have the ZDS, @ColtMrFire has the ZD, and with your ZDT we could compare all 3. Only one we'd be missing is the ZDSE.

    But seriously, that's a great amp and you can't go wrong if you're wanting to get into the older EC sound. The fact that it also drives high efficiency speakers is just a fat bonus.

    Time to find some Fostex FE168ES to make some D-37 mk iii speakers to pair with that ZDT. I’m hoping to use the amp mostly for speakers.
